ART THAT EVOKES CONVERSATION

The Philosophy of Wabi-Sabi

The ancient Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi teaches us to embrace the beauty and imperfections of the natural world. Each knot, each ring in the tree’s heartwood tells a unique story and symbolizes the passage of time.  Oak & Rose lends itself to celebrating those imperfections and slight differences from one piece to the next.

The ebb and flow of trends and materialism can consume us. We live in a society of fast-fashion, mass-produced, exact replicas of stuff we don’t need. Escape this obsession and start looking at the world’s imperfect beauty. Select pieces of art to bring home not because it will fill a physical space, but because it will bring peace within you. Being able to free ourselves from this thought  to find tranquility, harmony, and beauty in our surroundings is liberating.  This is the wisdom of wabi-sabi.
